A nice place to visit

Yowzers, but it's been a long time since I visited the ol' homestead. Still looks good around here, though. I enjoy the freedom of wandering around, reading and posting comments to the Wide World of Blogging, rather than offering up my own particular insights into the Universe in general.

Plus, when you're paid to write for a living, it can stop being a recreational activity, y'know?

Anyways, updates for my legions of Thrallformation-starved fans...

• I took the editing gig for Vue's Dish section, which means that I not only write about eating, I also mangle what other people write about eating. The Ultimate Cosmic Power factor is low, but it's challenging to herd the stylish cats who now write for me. Be nice to your friendly neighbourhood editor: their job is tougher than you think.
• With two bars showing up on a urine-drenched stick, we are celebrating an upcoming arrival for the end of November! (Woohoo!) We debated "Rowan" for a boy or girl, but my beloved bride has cooled on the name, so I'm currently engaged in a stealth-campaign for "Cohen" if it's a boy. (Stole it from my coworker's friend, and it rocks. I love you Leonard - call me.) If you have any suggestions, let me know and we'll mock them behind your back.
• My Lady is toiling away at her online Masters' program in Counselling Psychology, which is both more wonderful and brutally harder than it looks. Spare a thought for her as you complain about your day at work: sure, she gets to be at home (going stir-crazy), but you don't have to maintain a particularly attention-starved toddler, grow an infant inside of you and pursue higher education with drying apple juice stains on your text books.
• Of course, a new arrival means that we will officially burst the seams of our sweet downtown condo. Renovations are more-or-less under way, and we're hoping to list it in Edmonton's uber-hot real estate market for the beginning of June. Then we'll be homeless! Yay!

So, that's it. If you want more updates, beg me. Otherwise, read Vue Weekly to find out where I went to eat this week. Or visit my latest favourite site, The Gallery of Regrettable Food, for images of food you will never, ever want to eat - plus the funniest commentary this side of... um... funny.

However, if you want to buy a gorgeous downtown condo on the top floor, I may be able to hook you up. Two bedrooms with a breathtaking wood-burning brick fireplace, five appliances and an apartment-length east-facing balcony in a secure building. Saltwater pool, sauna and exercise room on site! It doesn't get any better than this...
